Thanks to everyone in the U.K. for the Sykes update. Our friend Nadia Moore in California had a live stream up on her computer (Thanks to Adam Davies) and here's what she wrote about the Zana DNA result from Dr. Bryan Sykes:

Dr. Sykes results indicate that Zana's offspring have the same percent of Neanderthal as the rest of the current population which contains Neanderthal DNA. Analysis of her sons tooth show that she was 100% Sub-Saharan African. Either an escaped slave or possibly from a more ancient migration out of Africa.

Our twitter feed was buzzing after the show (thanks to everyone for the updates!):

@BigfootEvidence One theory is she came from an ancient African migratory tribe as she had ancient skull traits.

@BigfootEvidence or could have been one of the earliest migrators out of Africa - perhaps in time they will find out ... Hope that helps you

We wrote about Zana here on Bigfoot Evidence last year. Here are the details of what locals reported:

One of the most intriguing stories from 19th century Russia is the story of Zana, who is reputed to have been a female almas (Russian name for sasquatch) captured by villagers in what is today known as Abkhazia , Western Caucasus. Details regarding just how she was captured are sketchy at best.

Villagers described her as covered with reddish-black hair with a large muscular build, large teeth, and fingers and toes longer than humans, in fact, she was able to splay her toes widely and move apart the big toe. Her wild animal-like tendencies frightened most who encountered her and for 3 years her food was tossed to her from a distance. Eventually, she became tame enough to be allowed to wander about fairly freely. Despite this, she continued to sleep outside in a self-dug hole in the dirt, refused to wear clothes, (became willing to tolerate a loin cloth), and never learned to speak. She developed the ability to perform simple tasks and seemed to respond to her name. Villagers recall she had a voracious appetite and even had a penchant for wine, sometimes sleeping for hours in a swoon-like state after indulging. Among her peculiar behaviors were clacking stones together and lying in a cool pool side by side with buffalo.

But here's the most interesting part of the story. Zana became pregnant by local men (perhaps it was the wine) and produced six offspring! The first two newborns died after she washed them in chilly spring water shortly after giving birth. Village women subsequently rescued the following four infants and cared for them, raising them as normal human children. Zana was the mother of two sons and two daughters. Yahoo contributor Robert Craeller lists their names and approximate birth year.

"The oldest son was Dzhanda, the youngest, Khwit. The older girl was Kodzanar and the second, Gamassa. All of them had children of their own, and their descendants are dispersed across Abkhazia. In the official census their last name was listed as Sabekia, although the two youngest, Khwit and Gamassa were raised by Edgi Genaba's wife. (It was rumored that Genaba himself fathered those children). Their birthdates are listed as: Dzhanda; 1878, Kodzanar; 1880, Gamassa; 1882 and Khwit; unknown."

Khwit

Of the four, the most is known about her youngest son Khwit. Exceptionally strong Khwit managed quite well within society although he possessed a quick temper and was prone to picking fights. Khwit died in 1954 around the age of 65-70. In the 1970's, well-known hominologist and researcher Igor Burtsev led an expedition to locate the remains. Studies were conducted on the skull by scientists in Moscow who noted peculiarities, but differences weren't remarkable enough to conclude the skull was outside the parameters of a modern human. Female skeletal remains were found in a grave next to Khwit, but scientists were unable to conclusively identify them as the bones of Zana.

Robert Craeller also notes this information regarding the grandchildren of Zana.

"In his field research interviewing the residents of Abkhazia, Russian hominologist Boris Porshnev met several of Zana's grandchildren. He remarked that he was immediately impressed by their dark skin and non-Caucasoid looks. One of the grandchildren, Shalikula was exceptionally strong, and could pick up a grown man sitting in a chair by grasping and lifting the chair with his jaws and teeth! Two other grandchildren, Chalikoua and Taia, were also reported to have the same general appearance and notably robust jaw muscles and bone structure."

Um......yeah, and we're all still sweating and scared shitless, right? You guys talked so much shit leading up to this that your lips will be stained brown for years to come. Doesn't matter what ya say at this point, you still look like clown shoes.

I always amused by the bigfoot advocates constantly changing the perimeters of their beliefs. First it was the Patterson man-like ape and then it was Melba's forest people and now they will settle for a "primitive human" which turns out to be a 100% Sub-Saharan African. In other words they can take a shit sandwich and call it gourmet.

Any pictures of her covered in hair? Nope. But we have pictures of her offspring. Are they covered in hair? Nope. Wouldn't you think the offspring would at least get some off this trait. Look at the picture of Kwitt he simply looks like a like a mix between an African and a Russian, which he is. Guarantee the people of this area had never seen an African and I'm sure greatly exaggerated her appearance.

anon156.. no one has the time for me to give you a class on recessive genetic traits,, but your logic is flawed. I think if were to spend the next 1hour schooling you !! ALL I WOULD BE DOING IS WASTING MY TIME ,,love,peace ..

218,, the fact that KHWIT isnt covered in hair ,PROVES that zana is a archiac hominid homo sapian .. however the armchair scientist here know nothing about genetics ..HINT ! why are african features usually dominant ?..look it up ! there is your answer..

So a mentally disturbed African slave showed up in a place where no one had ever seen one before. The description of a type of person they had never seen got wilder and wilder with the telling, and so she was categorized as a beast as result of fear, jealousy, and racism. Not a new story. She didn't have six kids because men liked to rub up against her fur-covered body.

Re Dr. Sykes' conclusion you should take into concideration that he was ordered and paid by the Icon Films for their film program, he started to study Khwit's - Zana's son - tooth just in July 2013, and another tooth of that neighbor woman in August. Hre was in very limited time traffic to get the proper results. That is why he said that this first proposal is preliminary one, and he will continue his study. Thus let's wait several months for the final conclusion.Igor Burtsev

As to Patterson film - it was studied in Russia during the 1970s with various specialists and was confirmed as authentic one. In America they just begin now to study this film and are coming to the same conclusion.Igor Burtsev

He reported what the data showed. Same percentage of neanderthal DNA as the general population and Zane was 100% sub-saharan human. Not relic human, not prototype human, not hybrid human not bigfoot, not unknown hominid but MODERN HUMAN.

What's simply amazing is ignoring the data and focusing straight in on the speculative comment as to HOW Zane came to be in that part of the world (relic human} which was a guess. And to be really critical, there were only three ways a sub-saharan african would end up in that part of the world in that era, slavery, early migration or the circus.

Sykes is systematically taking apart all the circumstantial evidence for undiscovered hominids.

How could it get any bunker you're already drinking coffee a cat ate and then shit out that's bunk enough no matter how funny cheech and Ching made it Labrador weed is fuckin nasty unless in a zip lock and by some miracle the dog didn't bite holes into the bag
